Our program is designed upon the University within School Model which blends and shapes experiences of educational researchers, pre-service teachers and schools through nuanced understandings of an array of factors. It is based on the values and foundations of contemporary and social constructivist teacher education that focuses on bridging teaching theories and praxis. In this respect, the students are involved in activities in real educational settings in compliance with their curriculum starting from year 1 and with intensive practicum experience during 3rd and 4th year. Besides, to enable students as social impact contractors, various practices of community service is required parallel to their courses. By applying Flipped Learning model in all our courses, we aim to enhance our students’ self-awareness and autonomy in learning and engage them with coursework in various and active ways to achieve higher order critical thinking skills.
